Montpeyroux, Arboras(partly).
Montpeyroux lies at the foot of Mont St Baudile, where the mountains that support the Causse du Larzac fall into the plain. In the XIV century, the bishops of Montpellier had their summer palace there and reputedly much enjoyed the wine which had an excellent reputation even then. Montpeyroux wines are sumptuous and full bodied, deep purple in colour, with aromas of ripe fruit, spice and the garrigue.
